Oh, the unintended consequences. There are already problems with genetically modified herbicide-resistant agricultural crops spreading resistance to unwanted weeds, and contaminating neighboring farms who want no part of these GM strains, ...with resultant lawsuits from Monsanto..... No only should GM crops not escape regulation, but should be more tightly regulated, not let loose for the general consumer to use. ...there is enough out there already about issues of contaminating others crops and the problems we are heading into as a result.

The very last thing we need is an excuse to pour more herbicide into the environment. We just had a fiasco with a new herbicide (supposedly well tested) that just happened to kill pine trees with just a little runoff. the oversight of this industry is minimal in the best of circumstances. Have people forgotten the irish potatoe famine. The whole country was reliant on one species of potato that fell to a new blight. We are creating monocultures where only one kind of seed is useable because it's herbicide resistant.
